Housing

Santa Rosa's Housing and Community Services department offers a variety of housing programs to provide safe, sanitary affordable housing for very low- and low-income Santa Rosans. HUD-subsidized rental housing is administered through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program for qualified families and individuals, while a variety of additional opportunities are administered through the Santa Rosa Housing Trust.

Overseen by the Santa Rosa Housing Authority, the Trust partners with many private sector organizations to develop affordable housing projects. Typically restricted to very low- and low-income households, these projects are scattered throughout Santa Rosa. The Trust has sponsored over 3,700 units in Santa Rosa, representing over $116 million invested in affordable housing in Santa Rosa.

The Department of Housing and Community Services is currently working in partnership with Burbank Housing Development Corporation to complete Catalina Townhomes, a self-help housing development for Low Income homebuyers.
